Hi Bryan,

I searched the whois database at InterNIC and got the following result:

Domain Name: WXCODE.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com
Name Server: NS63.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS64.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Status: clientRenewProhibited
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Status: clientUpdateProhibited
Updated Date: 15-jan-2011
Creation Date: 04-apr-2006
Expiration Date: 04-apr-2012

So the domain is still registered.

I checked also the wxCode project's VHOST configuration at SourceForge:

wxcode.com and www.wxcode.com are listed as VHOSTs

I have no idea what's going wrong.

I never used the wxcode.com URL myself, so it doesn't bother me either.

I didn't even know that wxcode.org existed and is pointing to
wxcode.sourceforge.net. For me mere forwarding as is would be
sufficient. It would require some DNS setup to have wxcode.org as a
proper alias. The following SF page explains what has to be done:

https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Custom%20VHOSTs

If you are able to trigger the necessary DNS setup and don't have
additional costs, I'd add wxcode.org and www.wxcode.org as VHOSTs to the
wxCode project.
